PCT MM388 To MM394 Past Yellow Legged Frog Closure

Thursday: (04/16) On trail at 0650. The trail started with a 1500 climb up over a ridge then meandered along the edge of the mountains overlooking Littlerock and Palmdale. I had lunch by Cruthers Creek then started a 2500 for climb up over Burkhart Saddle then down the other side to meet the PCT at the North end of the Endangered Species closure. I hiked only 13 miles today by earned them all. Now I'm back on the real PCT camped by a creek at MM394. Elevation 5633 feet so hoping for warm again. Another climb out of here tomorrow.

One of my rest stops with a grand view. On the right nice red snow flowers even with no snow.

These are some of the tame views. Many parts have steeper cross slopes.
